Mods have started the banning for opinions phase in that thread

Got to admit evilore media push during this gamergate that neogaf is a safe place is pretty good. Just don't be a furry or brony.

A few observations:

OP is a fire-stoking asshole...

By GAF's favourite, Zoe Quinn.

Haven't been following the Zoe Quinn story, but I thought GAF would appreciate it.

The editors note...

A few weeks ago our message board and general inbox were bombarded with demands we address something called the "GamerGate Scandal", posts written with the urgency and rage one would associate with, say, discovering that Chipotle burritos are made entirely from the meat of human babies. It's apparently a big deal in some circles, so we followed the links and read the piles of data presented, and had to stop and take a deep breath just to grasp it all. "Gentlemen," we said amid the stunned silence, "do you realize that if what they're saying is true, then this is still the most pointless fucking bullshit anyone has ever forced us to read?"

Sums up #gamersgate pretty nicely

I think I have a reputation for being a lefty (though really that only holds up in Americuh anywhere else I'd be on the right). But I doesn't mean I gush at Zoe's whole bit. I don't buy into the whole "She did doxed herself!" conspiracy thing. But I've also been made too cynical by business to view this as anything other than a brilliant branding execution. I remember when that Xbone designer guy was ousted for being an idiot on twitter I thought to myself "This guy is going to do a startup and then start giving talks about how he was wronged, because that sets him apart and it gives his project attention." Sure enough a few months later, he did exactly this. Issue with him though is his issue/plight is temporary. Whereas Zoe's has serious staying power.

By Danish standards I am a pretty middle of the road kinda guy which in American terms would be pretty solidly left. But on GAF I am apparently an extreme right wing/conservative person compared to the SJWs all of a sudden. Shit is bizarre.

Blizzard definitely screwed up nearly everything over the last 3-4 years. Botched the DOTA situation, failed to extend SC2's life/appeal, watched as their esports dominance disappeared, reused WoW shit over and over. D3 is a huge success sales wise but my views on it are well known. Meh.

But but the super chicken bro.....

the golden chicken in gears of war represents the conflict of man and nature as we head into age of technological singularity. When first encountered by the player avatar, the chicken, in its classical white-feathered representation, is attacked by the player's powerful weapons, yet only bleeds and expressed viscera, but does not die. The stylistically frail appearance of the chicken-entity, juxtaposed against its functional invulnerability, presents a ludonarrative intersection: The player must confront, process and ultimately reject his preconceived assumptions of not only their relationship with the material world, but that of the gameworld as well. The transformation of the chicken symbolizes man's desire to shape the natural world through his actions and interference. It is no coincidence that the chicken is transmuted into a large gold object; throughout history mankind has desired not only gold, but the omnipotence to turn the naturally mundane (chicken) into the profane (precious metal). The player is again confronted not with victory, but an even more difficult opponent, capable of enacting revenge on the player (standing in for humanity at this moment).


it is at this chapter in the game 'gears of war' reveals itself to be an environmentally conscious reminder of our tenuous relationship with the natural world, and the act of trapping this message inside what appears on a superficial analysis to be nothing more than a violent distraction is a work of art.

Clinton played arm's length on it and was smart for it. He knew it never had a chance in hell of passing. And Nixon's wasn't remotely like Obama's version.

Although Nixon did far more to support minorities than Mr. Obamaphone which itself is pretty awesome in my book.

Thank god! We needed another TLoU thread!

I have seen at least 10 people get banned for daring to say a word bad about GAF's baby. It's utterly ridiculous.

THA FUCK? game is hot garbage, and someone should be doing his sophomore lit homework instead of mooning over vidja

Walking Dead got knob slobbered too though. Clearly, having strong guys protect weak female characters is key to getting awarded all the awards.

And everybody ignored mah Fables, to the point where the 2nd episode wasn't released till 4 months after the first

I was so super stoked when Telltale made their big hullabaloo about resurrection the adventure game genre. Little did I know, they meant they were just going to remake the same fucking game 83 times with a different set of polygons. Their schtick was so old by time Fable came out, I still haven't DL'd it, and I own the first 60 or so issues of the comic book. I wish they weren't the Chumbawumba of game designers, but they is.

Not even remotely similiar in plan or execution. C'mon man you're smarter than this.
